Josh blinked...27,745 to beat for the Memory Man . Not a bad score under pressure .

Good grief 10k!! That's not much more than a sprint . Good luck though....my brother's wife lost three babies, horribly traumatic thing to happen...good on ya!

#8 - Shaun Wright-Phillips (without ball) 18.9 mph (with ball) 21.2 mph. Go figure .

Devil's advocate here, just reporting what the stats said....not really commenting on the veracity of it. Agree that on the face of it the "faster with the ball than without" sounds ludicrous....the only explanation I'd have thought possible would be that he's faster chasing the ball (makes sense...a greyhound runs faster chasing the hare than when not) than when running into space. That doesn't fit with having the "ball under control" though obviously. Shouldn't have said "the facts say different," just "Opta says different."

The clubs would get 13,000 each to distribute as they see fit. Season ticket holder would be a starting point....but there are more than 13,000 of them I'd have thought. See the bookies have us up to joint second favourites with Spurs (behind Bayern) after the last couple of nights results. ....and another thing... Bolton beating Atletico after Sergio Aguero sent off...never thought I'd see El Hadji Diouf actually benefit from someone spitting !

You keep saying that Carl but the facts say different... "Everton striker Andrew Johnson is the second fastest player in the Premier League! Johnson is second only to Manchester United’s Portuguese attacker Cristiano Ronaldo, who is a mere 0.3mph faster than the Everton striker. These stats are based on the latest findings from Opta, who record an array of facts and statistics based on Premier League football. The likes of Aston Villa’s Gabriel Agbonlahor and Newcastle’s Michael Owen do not appear in the top ten list, with the standings calculated by recording a player’s top speed when chasing the ball and also their pace when in control of the ball. AJ has been clocked racing to the ball at 20.6mph, increasing to 20.7mph when in control of the ball. Johnson is ahead of England colleagues Ashley Young, Aaron Lennon, Jermaine Defoe, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Joe Cole in the list." I think he's struggling for confidence at the mo for sure, but he'll be back imo.

No reductions for children either Bill . Never mind, gotta be done (and as been), wouldn't forgive myself if we made it and I hadn't tried. Worse case scenario is we get knocked out, get the tickets in the ballot and the final's Spurts v Notlob <_< . I suppose at least I could get the cash back on ebay .

£55 a ticket....if we're in it...madness !! Are you serious? Bargain of the fucking century!! I'm in. Thought I'd have no chance of getting one.

Zenit have beaten Villarreal 1-0 in the first leg in Russia. Be nice if they went out....one of the five or six favourites for the trophy. Also makes our performance look all the better.

Watching this makes you wonder how the fook we've managed to get to fourth in the league. Hard work to watch, too many schoolboy errors. Shite camerawork, like Jacko said....wtf's all that about? Can only get better...thank fuck for "Jajelka" .

Stronger team than expected... 24 Howard 18 Neville 04 Yobo 16 Jagielka 05 Lescott 21 Osman 17 Cahill 26 Carsley 23 Fernandes 22 Yakubu 08 Johnson Substitutes 33 Wessels, 02 Hibbert, 03 Baines, 07 Van der Meyde, 14 Vaughan, 28 Anichebe, 37 Rodwell

DM... “To be honest it’s a bit of a struggle even getting a team out. “We would hope that the boys who have been through it all before in Europe are a real help to us, because we’ll need it with the injuries.” ...VDM recall anyone ? Don't think Baines or Rodwell fit that description . Only Neville & Valente. Interesting.

Toothache is extremely painful but temporary. Friends will never go away . Moving on anyone seen "Never Better" BBC's....new, intelligent, black comedy featuring some of Britain's brightest comic talent including Stephen Mangan (Green Wing) as Keith and Kate Ashfield (Shaun Of The Dead) as his long-suffering wife, Anita. If you haven't, don't bother, it's almost as unfunny as Friends . Complete shite.

Who'd have thought it....wish my dad had lived to see Leeds suffer, he'd have loved it. Hated Revie and his team. They looked like they were going to cruise back up after winning eleven and drawing two of their first thirteen games but they've gone W7-D5-L7 since. Nearly 30,000 there tonight though....impressive.

Fair point...think I could probably live with it also.

Looks happy enough in Norway..

They certainly shouldn't, but it shouldn't be should'nt, it should be shouldn't . Sorry...I'm ashamed .

I find toothache funnier than Friends.

You miss my point. It is, in a nutshell... Friends is bollocks. Not funny at all. Seinfeld is funny. Big difference. That's all .

Ya keep saying that Bill, just trying to raise my hopes and then they get dashed every time :sad02: :crying_anim02: .

...only it's funny so not exactly like Friends. In fact not like Friends at all.

Hmmmm...short memory though... "We also have got to score a goal, as 0-0 is the worst you can get playing away in Europe.” ...he must've blanked out Bucharest....wish I could .

Never trust a sport where they put daft handles after the team name. Imagine the reaction if they tried to call us the Everton Eagles or something equally as ridiculous .

Out of interest what sort of reception has he get from the fans the couple of times he's been on the bench recently? And how does he look to be getting on with the rest of the team? If bluehead's to be believed he must be sent into a corner to warm up by himself .

Wrong rugby Jacko....unless you're talking when you were at primary school and hadn't been led down the apostrophe garden path by your teachers !!
